Let me show you my favorite picture of her, he says, holding up a snapshot of Neilia in a bikini. She had the best body of any woman I ever saw. She looks better than a Playboy bunny, doesnt she?"
Penn Hall yearbook, 1960:
Neilia Hunter Biden born on July 28, 1942, graduated from Penn Hall in 1960. Neilia later attended Syracuse University, where she studied law and was elected homecoming queen.
Neilia met Joe Biden, then a student at the University of Delaware, on spring break in the Bahamas in 1963. He transferred to her school and they were married two years later.
U.S. Sen. Edward "Ted " Kennedy (front) appears at a Sept. 30, 1972, campaign event at Turners Hall in Wilmington to support local Democratic candidates, including Senate candidate Joe Biden (left), with his wife Neilia.
In 2001, she wrote a heartfelt letter to Biden expressing her fathers profound grief after hearing Biden make a post Sept. 11 speech in which he told the audience that, given his history, he could empathize with victims.
Growing up, my dad never talked about it. He always got very solemn around Christmastime because the anniversary was Dec. 18, and he never wanted to celebrate the holidays, Hamill said. When newspapers had anniversary articles (about the crash), we hid them from dad.
Biden responded in a handwritten note, which, in part, reads, All that I can say is I am sorry for all of us and please know that neither I or my sons feel any animosity whatsoever.
Hamill says that because she fondly recalled those tender correspondences, the revelation of Bidens distorted story is even more overwhelming.
We always felt like our heartstrings were attached to (Bidens) heartstrings. Now we feel stabbed in the back, she said.
